This bit is not from Canada, but I wonder if 70% in SF dropped dead already.

Dying Democracy: Trudeau To Permit Liberal Employees To Create Laws

The Treasury Board of Canada is a Cabinet committee of the King’s Privy Council of Canada, whose origin goes all the way back to the founding of our nation in 1867.
“The Board is responsible for accountability and ethics, financial, personnel and administrative management, and approving regulations and most Orders-in-Council. Its president is responsible for the management of the federal government by translating the policies and programs approved by Cabinet into operational reality.”
According to an article published this month in the National Post, Treasury Board President Mona Fortier has announced a proposal to allow government documents to be given “full legal force.”
"It’s a proposal to change the rules about making rules. It would allow all federal regulatory organizations the ability to make internal government documents into law via incorporation by reference.
"This would give these internal documents the same authority as government regulations. The recent proposal by the Treasury Board of Canada would delegate law-making from Parliament and cabinet to the whims of public servants.
CAP stand aghast-- but not 100% surprised-- that such a move has been approved by the Trudeau government. Aghast, because this directive constitutes a breach of democratic jurisprudence. If approved, it will set a precedent for non-elected Liberal government bureaucrats to create binding laws in Canada.
Not that we are surprised. Cultural Action Party believe that authentic democracy in Canada is presently being delivered to political death row at the hands PM Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Government.
Transition from democracy to authoritarian state is in no manner a post-modern phenomenon. A look back at the previous century exposes commonality within authoritarian societies. Soviet Union, Communist China, the Nazis-- in each case government deployed a step-by-step legal transition to facilitate social and political goals.
In each case, a catalyst can be found in augmentation of legal structure. For law-making to exist at a bureaucratic level, devoid of necessity for approval from elected officials, was integral to all of the above.
“In 1949, the [Chinese] Communists abolished all judicial organs and established the Common Program, a statement of national purposes adopted by a September 1949 session as a provisional constitution. Under the Common Program, 148 provisional laws and regulations were adopted to establish the new socialist rule.”
*“In 1952 the authorities launched a nationwide judicial reform movement to rectify and purify the people’s judicial organs at **every level politically,*organizationally, and ideologically, and to strengthen the party’s leadership of judicial work. In 1953, the state began to promulgate separate criminal laws.”
All of it for the purpose of an establishment of a communist authoritarian state. Astute political observers should recognize the magnitude of the Trudeau government’s non-democratic move. The Feds hope they don’t; media exist to facilitate obfuscation.
"With the encroachment of the Liberal government into the world of internet regulation, the idea of allowing government departments to turn internal documents into law is daunting. Online Streaming Act (Bill C-11) is on the cusp of becoming law, and will regulate online content. The bill would allow the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to make regulations that would apply the Broadcasting Act to user uploads to social media."
